We understand and recognise that parents know their child better than anyone and regard partnerships with parents/carers to be of the utmost importance in the care and education of their children.
In developing a policy for Working in Partnership with Parents and Carers the management of the nursery fully understand and respect that parents/carers have primary responsibility for their children, which necessarily includes their development and education. Our parental involvement policy is designed to build upon these fundamental principles:
- Parents are the first educators of their young children.
- The aim of the group is to support parents in their essential role.
It is our policy at Kiddie Kapers Neighbourhood Nursery to work in close co-operation with each child’s parents/carers in an atmosphere of open dialogue and mutual collaboration with respect to the child’s needs, wants and values. This helps contribute to acheiving the following key objectives:
- To ensure that the individual developmental and learning needs of the child are met.
- To better understand, and to contribute positively to, the cultures and values of the child’s family and community.
When a child joins us, we like to encourage parents to share with us as much information as possible about their child to ensure a successful and happy transition from home to nursery. Your child will be allocated a key worker who will help to settle your child into their new environment.
For children attending Kiddie Kapers Neighbourhood Nursery, there are Open Days / Evenings where parents / carers can have the opportunity to speak to staff about their child’s development and progress in a more relaxed atmosphere, and a newsletter on a regular basis to keep you up to date with what is happening.
